umm, MSU was NOT a bad team at all.[/quote]
That one finished 15-15, so it was. They followed up the win over Charlotte with losses to Southeastern Louisiana and Northwestern State.[/quote]
They were not at the time we played them. They were solid and remember the SEC was VERY tough back then. That loss was not seen as a âbad lossâ by anyone at that time.[/quote]
We were 9 point favorites in that game and lost 53-38. They finished the season 15-15, 5-11 in conference. The following season they finished 9-21 and we lost to them on the road by 9.

I stick by what I said, they were NOT a bad teamâcertainly not at the time of the season we played them. The SEC was very good then. A 5-11 team that season in the SEC would have been top half of C-USA even though it was good as well.
[quote=âTintin, post:52, topic:27588â]I though we played nasty d and won a game of attrition.
However, I canât think of a jump shot we hit other than Colbyâs at the end.[/quote]I think that is the only one we hit.
I missed this game, both in person and on the internet broadcast. From reading the posts, it looks like it was one ugly game. Thatâs ok though, because ugly wins are better than pretty losses and the NCAA and NIT selection committees do not have an âugly winâ factor when deciding who to invite. With that said, are we in the NIT now or do we need to win 1 or 2 more games? I know it depends on what other teams do, but I think we may need 1 more win for the NIT.

That was a terrible loss. Worse than any loss this year.[/quote]
Wow, sure it wasâŚlosing by 20+ at GW this year was not worse. :p[/quote]
Not to say the GW loss wasnât a bad loss, but they were home and a 2.5 point favorite.

It was indeed the only jumper we hit the entire game. If someone would have told me we were going to win that game without making a jumper when it mattered during the entire game, I would have told them they were nuts. We couldnât hit the barn, but the intensity was great on D and we got after it down low on offense. I know Big 10 style of basketball is hard to watch sometimes, but not being able to make wide open jumpers has nothing to do with that style. Weâve got to get better at shooting the basketball, period. For the life of me I canât figure out why St. Joeâs never ran a zone the entire game. They played man the entire time, and pressed a little at the end. When youâre opponent is getting all their points below the blocks or from the free throw line from fouls commited below the blocks and they canât hit the barn, itâs an obvious sign to switch to a zone.
For any Richmond fans reading this, disregard the previous paragraph.

We havenât shot THAT poorly all year, with that kind of defense and hitting a few of those jumpers I feel pretty good about getting at least one win in Brooklyn.
Iâm conflicted. Is Major a good coach for getting players that canât shoot a jumpshot to a victory against a relatively good team, or is he a bad coach for having a team that canât make a jumpshot?
